Moving right along with science, we transited from the rock cycle to the water cycle. We started our week making "fossil" ornaments out of clay.
I also found a book called Rocks and Fossils which is perfect for his reading level! We talked a lot about the different parts of a non-fiction book and he read a lot of the information. It helped that he loves rocks and geology too.

For the water cycle we did a little experiment (pinterest inspired of couse!) to create rain inside of a jar. Oscar deemed it "pretty cool."
In social studies we're continuing our unit on famous Americans, and we watched a cute video and read a short book about George Washington. We also learned that while Betsy Ross is credited as sewing the first flag, history is no longer sure that she actually sewed it! She definitely was involved in the process though, so we made a Betsy Ross 5-point star (with only one cut!) in her honor. It made a nice addition to our tree as well!
